How it compares
170 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 170 mm median of the 56 bikes in the “e-enduro bike” category in our database. The fork has 10 mm more travel than the rear end with 160 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. Within Commencal’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Commencal T.E.M.P.O. Power and the Commencal Meta Power SX 800 on travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
Commencal uses FOX suspension throughout. It is powered by SHIMANO DU-EP800 with a 630 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (FOX 38 Performance E-Bike): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- Rebound: turn the red FOX adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Shock (FOX X Performance): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Target SAG for the Commencal Meta Power 29
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Commencal specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
170 mm fork, 60.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm | 24 % = 14.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm | 28 % = 16.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm | 30 % = 18.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 mm | 27 % = 16.2 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Rear: SCHWALBE Big Betty - Front: SCHWALBE Magic Mary.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.48 bar (21 psi) | 1.68 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.60 bar (23 psi) | 1.80 bar (26 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.72 bar (25 psi) | 1.92 bar (28 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.84 bar (27 psi) | 2.04 bar (30 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.96 bar (28 psi) | 2.16 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.08 bar (30 psi) | 2.28 bar (33 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.20 bar (32 psi) | 2.40 bar (35 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker (or on the shock) or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
